Spicy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe: Celebrate Cinco de Mayo At Home

What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo fiesta than cooking some homemade Guacamole, Mexican Rice and serve with some cold cervezas? I came across this tasty enchilada recipe on Allrecipes.com awhile and I figured there isn't a better time to try it out. I have added some tomato sauce and made a few adjustments to it. The result was fantastic!

This Saturday marks the150th anniversary of Cinco de Mayo. The official name of this holiday in Mexico is called El Dia de La Batalla de Puebla (The Day of the Battle of Puebla), it marks Mexico's victorious win against the French in the Mexican State of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Do you know that Cinco de Mayo isn't a major holiday in Mexico? It's actually a Mexican-American holiday. It has turned into a major holiday that everyone in the US, Mexican or not, have enjoyed celebrating. It's also a day people use as a license to overeat Mexican food.

Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, and place in a baking dish. Cover with taco sauce on top, and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

Husband Says: " Dame. More Mexican food! I like this trend! Carmen was nervous about this one as once again she knows I love my Mexican food. Happy to say this was delish as usual. Spicy, but not TOO spicy. Saucy, but not TOO saucy. Will eat again!"

These enchiladas do look tasty. I am so ready for some ice cold margaritas as well as some spice. Strange that I have never made my own enchilada sauce, I will need to try yours-glad you posted this! Ha-I do not think your husband needs Cinco de Mayo for an excuse to eat this. Have a great day.
